Jordan Love Returns to Lift Packers Over Giants 27-20 as Josh Jacobs Leaves With Knee Injury

Postgame updates pointed to a minor left-shoulder issue for Love, with Jacobs' knee slated for Monday testing.

Overview

  • Love exited in the first quarter after a hit to his non-throwing shoulder, was listed as questionable, then returned early in the second quarter.
  • He threw two touchdown passes, including the go-ahead strike to Christian Watson in the fourth quarter, to snap Green Bay’s two-game skid.
  • Backup Malik Willis filled in during Love’s absence and led a touchdown drive, hitting Watson after a 17-yard third-down run.
  • Starting running back Josh Jacobs left in the second quarter with a knee injury and was ruled out; initial reporting says it is not believed to be season-ending, with further evaluation planned Monday.
  • Green Bay’s defense sealed it with Evan Williams’ end-zone interception and a Micah Parsons strip-sack, as the Packers moved to 6-3-1 despite two missed PATs by fill-in kicker Lucas Havrisik.
